OKLAHOMA CITY —

Oklahoma City police are looking for a driver who fled a traffic stop and slammed into the brick wall of an apartment complex before fleeing on foot.

Officers said they attempted to stop a silver Hyundai Elantra around 12:45 a.m. near NW 122nd Street and Pennsylvania Avenue. However, the driver took off. A short pursuit followed until the driver missed a turn, according to police.

He then slammed into a brick wall at the Lincoln Green apartment complex, leaving tire marks. Pieces of the car and bricks were strewn as far as 30 to 40 feet away.

Police said the male driver then took off on foot and escaped officers. Two passengers were treated on scene by paramedics.

Investigators tell KOCO Eyewitness News 5's Rob Hughes that the two passengers weren't arrested, and will likely not face charges. The driver remains on the loose and police continued to search the area for him Thursday morning.

Anyone with any information on the incident is asked to contact the Oklahoma City Police Department.
